Oregon’s Early Learning and Kindergarten Guidelines

The Early Learning and Kindergarten Guidelines align and expand on Oregon’s learning and development standards for children ages three through six in five domains:

approaches to learning

social-emotional development

language and communication

literacy

mathematics

The Guidelines give early learning professionals and kindergarten teachers a set of common goals and vocabulary for children’s learning and development, while also supporting developmentally appropriate, culturally and linguistically responsive practices.
